The idea of those repositories is always reflect the current SVN
state. So, if I have some work in progress I will push to an alternate
one.

There are actually some problem with those repositories in gitorious:

1) It only contains key modules.
2) At the moment, the update is done in a machine at home running a
cron job. The internet is quite reliable, but not assured to be up
100% of the time. So probably would be a good idea to move that job to
some E server. BUT....
3) ...We'll officially migrate to git soon (I hope).

The reason why I created them is that cloning from a http server (like
the french one) is slooooowwww and for that there is already svn. :P
